From Evaluation to Design: Using Potential Energy Surface Smoothness Metrics to Guide ML Interatomic Potential Architectures
ICML 2026poster
Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials (MLIPs) sometimes fail to reproduce the physical smoothness of the quantum potential energy surface (PES), leading to erroneous behavior in downstream simulations that can be missed by standard energy and force regression evaluations. Existing evaluations, suc…
